Fast Radio Bursts and Interstellar Objects [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalFast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient radio events with millisecond-scale durations and debated origins. Collisions between planetesimals and neutron stars (NSs) have been proposed as a mechanism to produce FRBs; the planetesimal strength, size, and ...

Interstellar Objects from Broken Dyson Spheres
Research Notes of the AAS, 2023 Abstract Without extensive maintenance, Dyson spheres inevitably disintegrate by asteroid impacts over billions of years. The resulting fragments would appear as anomalous interstellar objects, potentially sharing the unusual shape and motion of 1I/‘Oumuamua or the unusual material strength of the first two interstellar meteors, IM1 and ...

The Distribution of Earth-impacting Interstellar Objects
The Astrophysical JournalIn this paper we calculate the expected orbital elements, radiants, and velocities of Earth-impacting interstellar objects. We generate a synthetic population of ∼10 ^10 interstellar objects with M-star kinematics in order to obtain ∼10 ^4 Earth ...

Close encounters of the interstellar kind: exploring the capture of interstellar objects in near-Earth orbit [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Recent observations and detections of interstellar objects (ISOs) passing through the Solar system have sparked a wave of interest into these objects. Although rare, these ISOs can be captured into bound orbits around the Sun. In this study, we investigate the novel idea of capture of ISOs into near-Earth orbits and find that a ...

Interstellar Objects in the Solar System [PDF]
1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov are the first macroscopic interstellar objects to be detected in the solar system. Their discovery has triggered a tsunami of scientific interest regarding the physical properties, dynamics and origin of the so-called interstellar interloper population.

Candidate Captured Interstellar Objects in the Solar System
Interstellar objects (ISOs) provide direct probes of planetesimal formation and ejection in other planetary systems. While most ISOs that pass through the Solar System escape it after a single passage, a small fraction can become temporarily bound through gravitational interactions.
